Teaching Lab All Partners Report

2021-2022 Mid-Year Report

Background

To date (Dec 02, 2021) during SY21-22, Teaching Lab has administered the following to participants from your school or district:

  • End of Session Surveys that gather participant feedback on facilitation from session to session;

  • End of Course Surveys that gather participant feedback on each PL course;

  • Knowledge or Self-Reported Practices Assessments the first and last day of each PL course;

  • Baseline Diagnostic Educator Survey that collects information on teachers’ use of curricula, mindsets, self-reported practices, and school environment. The follow-up will be administered in the spring after a year of PL engagement.

Below are the results presented in various sections: Background and Demographics, Participant Feedback, Participant Knowledge, and Diagnostic Educator Survey for teachers and administrators.

Section 2: Participant Perceptions

Teaching Lab collects participant feedback on facilitation from session to session and then on the entire course once it has concluded. Below are results for both.

Section 2a: End of Session Summary

Participants’ aggregate feedback on each session is provided below.

In summary, we see the following % agree or strongly agree with the above statements:

  • 90% strongly agree or agree that they were fully prepared for the session.
  • 88% strongly agree or agree that they responded to the group’s needs.
  • 88% strongly agree or agree that they facilitated the content clearly.
  • 91% strongly agree or agree that they effectively built a safe learning community.
  • 90% strongly agree or agree that they demonstrated deep knowledge of the content they facilitated.

Here by visualizing ratings of strongly agree/agree in blue areas, and all other ratings in black areas we visualize feedback over time (If there is just one point of feedback this appears as a dot).

Finally, here are some highlights from the textual feedback of the end of session survey

Section 2b: End of Course Summary

Participants’ feedback on each course is provided below.

In summary, we see the following % agree or strongly agree with the above statements:

  • 82% strongly agree or agree that they responded to the group’s needs.
  • 86% strongly agree or agree that they felt a sense of community with the other participants in the course even though they were meeting virtually.
  • 87% strongly agree or agree that they will apply what they have learned in the course to their practice in the next 4-6 weeks.
